dc.description.abstractThis online ISMN-project aims to build an innovative, inclusive, sustainable and long-lasting intercultural exchange between students by • fostering peer support relationships between student midwives across Europe and globally, • facilitating the exchange of personal experiences in the journey of becoming a midwife, • facilitating the development of interpersonal skills to work cross culturally, • promoting intercultural learning through reflection on the similarities and differences in the social context of Midwifery, • promoting professional exchange to foster best practice in Midwifery, • discussing and engaging ideas of contemporary and important international midwifery campaigns and debates. Small groups of around 8 students of four universities at different levels of study are created. Each month, the groups organize meetings where they discuss, share and analyze their experiences in relation to topics relevant for Midwifery and share their journey as students. At the end of the academic year, the groups organize a student-led virtual conference where they present topics relevant to them. Each student writes two reflective essays which they share with their tutors. The project started in 2020 with two universities and expanded in 2021 to four. After a first evaluation, students reported improved understanding of the international role of the midwife, enhanced interpersonal communication skills, empowerment to work cross culturally and increased belongingness to the global Midwifery profession. A formal research project is currently under development to formally evaluate the impact and outcomes of this project. The network aims to expand further and is constantly under evaluation and adaptation. Significance to midwifery: In line with the ICM vision (2020), we would like midwives of the future to be global leaders who work to enhance the profile of the Midwifery profession worldwide. We believe internationalization of Midwifery education can help students gain a wider understanding of the strengths and challenges of the profession at a local and a global scale.de_CH
